Autumn has finally reached the Big Apple, and we couldn’t be happier! There’s something magical about the leaves falling and changing color throughout the city.

Get Lost in a Corn Maze!

Queens is home to New York City’s only Corn Maze! This is the perfect weekend activity for you, your roommates, friends and maybe even your S.S. The corn maze starts September 22nd through October 27th. P.S. they also have a pumpkin patch so you can do both in one day!

Go to a spooky haunted house!

New York City has a few haunted houses, but the one that stood out to us the most is the famous Blood Manor. This haunted house is opened from Oct. 5th through Nov. 3rd.

The Oktoberfest takes place right by the water, with a wonderful and picture worthy view of Brooklyn and the South Street Seaport. Did we mention that tickets to this event are 100% free? You do need to bring money with you to pay for beer and food though!

Explore an Art Installation!

There are always a ton of cool pop-ups throughout the city. We recommend checking out Candytopia and Color factory! Candytopia is a candy-themed pop-up and Color factory is a color-themed installation.

Plan your own crawl.

Pub crawls are super popular but who says you have to do an alcohol-themed crawl, why not do a bagel or donut themed one throughout NYC? (I’ve done a dessert one).

Museum on a budget

If you’re on a budget and love museums, you’re in luck because every Friday at the Whitney Museum, it’s a pay as you wish night. So, you can explore this iconic museum for $1 and save your money for dinner before or after in the Chelsea area.
